Chatham Gets Their Very Own Song – Your Town Thursday [AUDIO]

Chatham residents – your song is done. Lots of people wrote in, and I thank you all for that. I know the title makes no sense, but I had to go with it

Yes, I did it. I went with “ChathamHoochie”. Silly? Yes. But it was a fairly obvious parody choice to me. (Remember Alan Jackson’s “Chatahoochie’ Be that as it may – here’s your song, guys. I wish I had some photos to go with this. If you have any that I would have permission to publish, I will be glad to put them on here after the fact.

Chathamhoochie

Lyrics c2014 Richie Phillips All Rights Reserved

Parody of “Chatahoochie”, by Alan Jackson

Early last nite down in Chathamhoochie

I passed 4 gas stations and a bowlin alley

Old timers eat at Dan’s Diner a lot

And watch the Amtrak train, although you’ll never see it stop

One guarantee if you come down here

You’re gonna see some cows a-mooin and some big John Deeres

And the village historical society

Works hard to preserve the towns legacy

There was a Monica who traveled with lisa Minnelli

She was Carol Channing’s understudy,

More familiar names like the Mallon Brothers,

One lawyer,one principal, and one was a barber

Chatham has their churches lots of good preachers

School has awesome teams that you can cheer from the bleachers

A really great school with an interesting feature

The parents and the kids had the same teachers!

The good old Panthers, that’s their mascot

They love them as much as the old town clock

The girls’ softball team, they took a little trip

And came home with the state…championship

YpVisit here and you’ll see a team of horses now and again

And the best place for pizza – the Pizza Den

And you’ll meet a guy in town that the folks know well

He calls himself father Chatham, he’s Freddie Friedel

Now you’re all up to speed about Chathamhoochie

Written by your friend, Rhymin’ Roochie (actually Richie, but that didn’t rhyme)
